Query: NC_009073:1708544 Pyrobaculum calidifontis JCM 11548, complete genome
Lineage: Pyrobaculum calidifontis; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: This organism is a facultatively anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon, first isolated from a hot spring in the Philippines. Pyrobaculum calidifontis cannot use sulfur compounds for anaerobic growth and is only able to grow anaerobically using nitrate as an electron acceptor.
Subject: NC_009922:1 Alkaliphilus oremlandii OhILAs, complete genome
Lineage: Alkaliphilus oremlandii; Alkaliphilus; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Arsenate-reducing bacterium. Alkaliphilus oremlandii was isolated from Ohio River sediment, USA. This organism can reduce arsenate to arsenite, making it a potential bioremediation agent. It is a versatile strict anaerobic, spore-forming, low G+C gram positive bacterium that can ferment glycerol, fructose, and lactate, as well as respire arsenate and thiosulfate.
